Here is one I made.  It is made of pipestone.  Hand carved.  The bottom and back of the pipe were left natural.  The little dots are fossils or something.

...and as if from the inception of time itself I realized I was and had been for sometime, elsewhere, elsewhen or somehow, quite seriously, otherwise...

Nice, man. The tobacco looks good too
a group of us, on peyote, had little to share with a group on marijuana

the marijuana smokers were discussing questions of the utmost profundity and we were sticking our fingers in our navels & giggling

I think the pipe is especially cool with the unfinished bowl end, plus the neat spots that occur in the stone. The tobacco is good too.

I've heard of salvia turning people into objects.  That used to seem a bit scary - now I want to be an apple!

Oh, yea, that tobacco may have looked good, but it had a strange taste and smell and made me feel kind of strange - in a good way.

We used to make smoking utensils out of apples when I was (much) younger. We had an orchard nearby. Not the best thing in the world, but when the apples were available and ripe, you could kill two birds with one stoned, so to speak... acutally three!
1) smoke
2) eat the apple treating both the munchies and cottonmouth
3) dispose of the evidence

where legal, of course.

JRL, I would have loved to have been that apple!  Man that is too cool using an apple as a pipe.  I have heard it done but never actually thought people did that.  Life can be stranger than fiction that is for sure.
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Yeah, I really like that one.  Turning out to be quite the carver he is.  He just sent me some beautiful capstone early this week as a matter of fact.  I love working with the stuff myself.  It requires alot of patience.  Meanwhile my hands are turning to hamburger working with this new set of differently shaped rasps I have here.  Just completed a few random pieces (a bowl and a vial) out of a pink soft marble silica clay mix the other day.  Lapidary in general is such a pleasure (specially good quality pipestone.)  Am gonna have to find some turquise one of these days.....

I got a photo of some of LW's more traditional works in progress.

Here is the first stone pipe I made.

Speaking of rasps, I've found I'm using a common 4-1 for most everything.

It is talc or soapstone.  It is very soft and easy to work with.  Although it will break easy as well if not careful.  Great material to start with.
